Coaching for Leaders

The frontier of leadership development is focused on a special kind of leader – one who is self-aware, models inclusive values, builds trust, and sees the learning and development of others as central to the role. This Leader Coach® engages others to create a high commitment and high performance culture.

Our programs at the individual, team and organizational levels give you the requisite skills for building cultures of excellence for turbulent times. Whether you are interested in developing your own Leader Coach® skills, expanding the coaching capacity of your team, or engaging in whole-scale organization change, we guide you step by step through the process.

We suggest you begin with our 2-day foundation program and then work with us to design the approach best suited to your needs. All of our programs use a consistent process and approach that builds from one skill level to the next. For more information, see our Leader Coach Certification program.
